The Sync Menu
All of the settings associated with synchronising the Arpeggiator, LFOs
and Effects to the Arpeggiator clock are found here.
The Sync Menu is selected by pressing the GATE but-
ton in the Mod Env / Env 3 section on the front panel.
Use the BANK / PAGE up/down buttons to scroll
through the Menu functions available - See the table
below.
In all cases, when a feature is synchronized, the tempo is controlled by
the Arpeggiator TEMPO knob.
In all cases, when a features is synchronized to the Arpeggiator Clock,
its front panel controls (for example LFO SPEED) will have no effect.
These controls will only become effective once the feature’s
Synchronization rate has been set to OFF, when the feature will no
longer be governed by the Arpeggiator’s TEMPO knob setting.
SYNC Arp Tempo (Menu Page 1)
Allows Sets the basic timing division for the arpeggiator and also for
any parameters that are synced to the arpeggiator clock.
SYNC Lfo1 Delay / SYNC Lfo2 Delay (Menu Pages 2 & 4)
Allows either LFO’s delay time to be synchronized to arpeggiator clock.
A range of synchronization values are available up to 12 bars in length.
SYNC Lfo1 Speed SYNC Lfo2 Speed (Menu Pages 3 & 5)
LFOs may be synchronized to Arpeggiator Clock. As an example, a
very pleasing audio effect may be achieved when LFO 2 is modulating
the filter cut off frequency and this is synchronized to the tempo of an
arpeggio.
The synchronisation value selected is the period taken for the LFO to
complete one whole cycle of its waveform.
To synchronize an LFO, alter this value until the desired musical timing
is displayed. See the synchronization table given below (for the LFO
Delay synchronization) for details on the settings available.
SYNC Delay Time (Menu Page 6)
Enables the time of the Delay repeats to be synchronized to the tempo
of the arpeggiator clock. Synchronization rates up to 2 bars are
available for the Delay Effect.
SYNC Chor Rate (Menu Page 7)
Similar to Delay Sync, the Chorus internal LFO may be synchronized to
arpeggiator clock tempo.
The available Sync resolutions are the same as those available for the
LFO Delay time as shown in the earlier table.
SYNC Pan Rate (Menu Page 8)
A very pleasing audio effect may be heard when the Panning effect is
synchronized to the tempo of a the arpeggiator. The synchronization
table given earlier for the LFO Delay time describes the musical timings
available for the Pan.
